Fieramusca remains in custody at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. He was being held on $1 million bond, but that bond has now been increased to $2 million.

He was arrested Friday with the rape of a 4-year-old girl, and he admitted to authorities that he had intercourse with the child. However, Fieramusca claimed that the girl initiated the sexual activity.

That child's abuse was detected while she was being cared for at a New Orleans hospital. When the 16-year-old heard about that incident, she became upset and told her family that Fieramusca had abused her several times over a three- to four- year period at her home in Metairie.
